The Cats

"On Facebook, this South Philly band has filled in its genre tags thusly: "rock, old guy lo-fi." Not wrong, but definitely an undersell for an act this exciting. The Cats are gorgeous and inventive in a Guided By Voices/Breeders way, only young and full of vinegar.

Released back in April, Relax on Everyone is a loud, dirty, kinda sludgy/kinda vibrant chunk of poppy punk. The songs are short. The guitars know just the right moment to get all fuzzy and punchy, to make you want to move. Manon Gordan's vocals may well have been sung through an Arby's drive-thru — in a good way — but when it comes to punk passion this band delivers."
